You'll probably be happy to know that the places where that footage was taken look almost identical today: all those buildings are still standing and, apart from the cobble on the streets, the vehicles and the fashion - that footage would have very little difference if it was filmed today.
This is amazing, couldn't take my eye off it. Imagine if time travel were possible, even for an hour or two walk the streets of Dublin over 100 years ago, impossible I know but got my imagination going.
To be honest with you, as far as the buildings are concerned, those specific places look almost identical today: there is no huge difference that I can see except for the replacement of cobble stone by tarmac on the main street.
God I love that video brings back memories playing at the monument in the phoneix park ,climbing up to touch the the horses and soldiers back in the 60s with mam n dad there both gone now RIP.❤thank you .for the memories.
Lovely footage, thank you. The thing that amazed me most is that Batchelor's Walk (the street with the buildings by the river Liffey) looks exactly the same now as it did in that footage. Most of the buildings in that footage have not changed, they're still the same, but there is just no longer the cobble stone on the main street. Its hard to believe how much has happened since then.

My Nan use to tell me "back in those days you could leave your house door open and leave your bike anywhere and still be there hours later when you come back" . now days you need 3 locks an a gps tracker for your bike haha🤣
Strange to see the Union flag flying over the GPO, how it would all change a year later. O'Connell Street looks just like a capital city's main thoroughfare should look, not the eyesore it has become today. I wonder whose idea it was to discontinue the trams.
Bring back the Liffey barges to relieve Dublin’s congestion problems and to have better passenger transport between Dublin Port (North Wall) as far upstream as Capel St Bridge or up to Hueston, with passenger only vessels - this would also make it easier for cruise ship passengers to explore Dublin from a unique perspective
I believe that the larger vehicles are propelled by the electric fluid. Are they not aware that it can cause dangerous disruptions in the lumeniferous aether?

The original footage was recorded by my Grandfather, J Gordon Lewis for British Pathe, and you can see his trademark angel shots.
Amazing!
Well a big thank you to J Gordon Lewis (and his decendants) 👋 💚
Absolutely brilliant, I really appreciate this film as I’m a Dubliner.
Pity there was no footage of the rising a year later.
where was it filmed from? Its great
Many of those buildings in Dublin are still standing. Amazing footage. Thanks!
Soon to become fishtank hotels, like the others.
It's like Cork. It looks very similar.

City centre looked better then than it does now. Far better public transport network I bet too.
City is a complete shithole now. Irish are the minority in there
@@madforit2 This film doesn't show the slums which were there at the time and were real "shitholes".
@@Megabishop65 certainly in around the likes of the Monto were scenes of abject poverty, disease etc. Arguable that those areas still havent fully recovered since the decline following Union.
A lot less people had back then - public transport was essential and compared to other cities at the time wasn’t amazing.
@@madforit2 not true, and you know it.
My great grandfather would have been 16, born in 1899!. Crazy to think about what he would be doing as this footage was taken. Dublin looked great.

@alls I got to agree with you. Shame what this government is doing.

Fascinating footage. The lads at centre 3:23 working on the tallest ladders in Europe by the looks of things. Wouldn't get away with that today.

I was in most European cities, and the most beautiful is Paris, but I love Dublin the most 😁
San Sebastian is the most beautiful!
Can say irish only
I grew up at Merrion Square Park. The appearance of smog in some images does remind me of the early 1950's

This is how it was before the hell unfolded itself.
Sounds added of course, but fitting and not over done.
back then when the wool is the king and polyeser doesnt exist.
No George the 5th is king and judging by the smog and lack of cars coal was in charge.
Horse Power!
My grandparents would have been 12 and 13, who knows my great grandparents may have been in this film.
It looks exact the same now but with more Burger Kings
And of course fatter people.
Even the poor ( who were most people) had such pride in their appearance. Everyone in town these days is in a tracksuit
Ide love it if film was available around the 1600s onwards to show the progression of life from no paths at all to having streets and buildings
I love old videos like this even if there's always a load of vile racist remarks about immigrants and foreigners in the comments
Exactly! It does kinda dampen the videos for me, but knowing that not all Irish people are hate filled monsters is great. God bless you sir
